They’re fantastically quick (ALWAYS a huge win for me) and they taste super delicious. They’re also secretly healthy, but shhhh we don’t have to tell anyone that!
The texture is more dense and chewy than regular muffins, since they’re made with oats which are a great healthy alternative to regular all purpose flour.
The batter is made in the blender! I absolutely love easy and delicious recipes, and this recipe is definitely a keeper. I’ve made at least 6 batches of these healthy banana bread muffins in the last few weeks.

Is it possible to make these muffins into bread?
Yes you should be able to, but as I haven't tried it myself I'm unsure of the time it would take to bake it.
These look like the perfect breakfast. It will be a good way to entertain the kids. 🙂
Thanks Bee! 🙂
